The first volume of a definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros is set centuries before the events of "A Game of Thrones" and answers key questions about the dynasty's origins, conflicts and relationships with dragons.

From Aegon's Conquest to Jaehaerys I ascent and from Viserys I to Aegon III. Will revisit later once House of the Dragon S2 is out.

Review of 'Fire & blood' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is really excellent. It apes history writing, and sounds a quasi-scholarly tone, so it is very different from the rest of ASOIAF and probably not for everyone, but I loved every page.

This seems to essentially be Martinโ€™s version of The Silmarillion, so if you enjoyed that youโ€™ll probably like this too.
